2 Microscope Imaging Station Formative Evaluation Amoeba on the Axiovert Standalone (with XYZ Control and Media) Joyce Ma and Jackie Wong February 2003 PURPOSE This study looks at visitors experiences at the first prototype of a standalone Axiovert station with the specimen, amoeba. Specifically, it determines baseline information about: What visitors do how long visitors stay (holding time) if visitors use the joystick and knob controls (to move and focus, respectively) if visitors can find a specimen to look at What visitors look at on the main viewing monitor on the accompanying media piece if visitors notice the microscope behind the glass What visitors thought how interesting visitors found the experience questions visitors have about their experience what connections visitors made between the microscope and the image they saw what visitors remembered seeing 2
3 SETUP The equipment configuration is shown in Figure 1 and described in more detail in Appendix A. Figure 1. Standalone exhibit setup 3
4 METHOD Observations: An evaluator sat 15 feet away from the stand-alone station and observed visitors as they used the exhibit. If visitors came in a group, the first visitor to stop was observed. The evaluator noted when a visitor stopped at the exhibit, when s/he looked at the main monitor, the media monitor, and the microscope, and when that visitor left the exhibit. Demographic information was also noted. A video camera was set up to record what visitors were looking at on the main monitor. Adrian Van Allen created a tracking program to log what media screens visitors were looking at on the media piece. The above three data types were then coordinated to determine what a visitor did and saw at the standalone based on a common clock. (The clocks used by the evaluator, the video camcorder, and the tracking software were synchronized to each other before each day s observation.) Uncued Interviews When possible, a visitor whom we just watched was then approached and asked a series of questions about the experience and about what s/he saw. These questions are in Appendix B. We selected visitors to interview based on age (must be 8 or above) and holding time (must be longer than 15 seconds). DATA COLLECTED Times. Data were collected during these days: Day Date Thursday 2/13/03 Monday 2/17/03 Saturday 2/22/03 Demographics Gender Count Male 34 Female 25 Total 59 4

Holding time according to age group Mean Holding Age Group Count Time (seconds) Median Holding Time (seconds) Adult Teen Child (8-12) Under Adults tend to stay longer than children and teens 1. That is, there is a significant difference between: Adults and children; t(37) = 2.507, p =.017 <.05 Adults and children under 8; t(37) = 2.083, p =.044 <.05 Adults and teens; t(31) = , p =.061 ~.05 There is no detectable difference between the other age groups 1.

Scanning past an amoeba does NOT count as finding that amoeba. Figure 3 shows how long it took visitors to find their first amoeba. 1 The statistical test was performed on ln-transformed data, which passed the one-sample Kolmogorov- Smirnov test for normal distribution. 6
7 Figure 3. Search Time Less than 3s 3-5s 5-10s More than 10s Never Found Search Time (time to stop and look at first Amoeba) 64% (38/59) visitors managed to find an amoeba to look at. 31% (18/59) visitors found their first specimen within 3 seconds. 43% (25/59) visitors found their first specimen within 5 seconds. 54% (32/59) visitors found their first specimen within 10 seconds. 10% (6/59) visitors took more than 10 seconds to find their first specimen. All the visitors who found an amoeba were able to focus on an amoeba. 36% (21/59) visitors never stopped and looked at an amoeba. We were curious as to what, if anything, these visitors were looking at on the main viewing monitor. We found that 7/21 got lost off the slide (The search area for the amoeba is circular whereas the xy limits are set for a rectangular search area. It is, therefore, possible to wander out of the search area.) 4/21 passed over an amoeba without stopping 4/21 had a chilomonas in view and may be looking at that and 2/21 chased a chilomonas around on the slide. 3/21 spent 5 or less seconds at the exhibit It is not clear from the data what four visitors who did not find an amoeba were looking at, if anything. Table 2 shows, according to age group, the number of visitors who found an amoeba. 7
8 There is a significant difference in the percentage of visitors who were able to find an amoeba between adults and children (between 8 12); Fisher s Exact Test, p =.033 <.05. There is no significant difference in the percentage of adults, teens, and children under 8 who were able to find an amoeba; Fisher s Exact Tests; p >.05 Table 2. Tally of the Number of Visitors who found an amoeba to look at Adult Teen Child Child under 8 Total Found Not Found There is a significant difference in holding time between those visitors who found an amoeba (mean time = 120 seconds; median = 102 seconds) and those who did not (mean time = 66 seconds; median = 21 seconds) 2 ; t(57) = 4.068, p =.00 <.05. Those who found an amoeba stayed longer at the exhibit. Visitors who found an amoeba were more likely to also have looked at the media piece compared to those visitors who did not find an amoeba. See Table 3. Fisher s Exact Test; p =.000 <.05. Furthermore, there is a significant positive correlation between looking at the media piece and finding an amoeba; Cramer s V =.548, p =.00. Table 3. Tally of the Number of Visitors who found an amoeba to look at Looked at Did not look Total media at media Found Not Found Total Of the visitors who did look at the media piece, there is no significant difference in the amount of time visitors spent looking at the media piece for visitors who found an amoeba (mean time = 37 seconds, median time = 23 seconds) and visitors who did not find an amoeba (mean time = 69 seconds, median time = 24 seconds); t(38) 3 = -.132, p =.896 >.05) 2 The statistical test was performed on ln-transformed data, which passed the one-sample Kolmogorov- Smirnov test for normal distribution. 3 The statistical test was performed on ln-transformed data, which passed the one-sample Kolmogorov- Smirnov test for normal distribution. 8
9 However, there is a marginally significant difference in the percentage of time visitors spent looking at the media piece between visitors who found an amoeba (N = 38, mean = 28%) and visitors who did not (N = 21, mean = 43%); t(38) = , p =.073 >.05. Visitors who did not find an amoeba tend to spend a higher percentage of their time looking at the media piece, provided that they looked at the media piece at all. 41% (24/59) visitors did NOT have to move the stage to find an amoeba to look at; a specimen was already in view. But, 25% (6/24) of these visitors never stopped and looked at an amoeba. Alternatively, 59% (35/59) visitors did have to move the stage to find an amoeba to look at. 15 out of these 35 visitors (43%) never stopped to look at an amoeba. There is NO significant difference between these two groups, those who had to move the stage and those who did not. Fisher s Exact Test, p =.18 >.05 What visitors look at Viewing Monitor 98% (58/59) visitors looked at the main viewing monitor. The one visitor who did not look at the monitor spent about 3 seconds at the exhibit. Visitors (N = 59) spent an average of 45 seconds (median) or 66 seconds (mean) looking at the viewing monitor. The maximum length of time a visitor spent was 257 seconds. Visitors spent, on average (median), 71% of their total time at the exhibit looking at the main viewing screen. What Visitors Watched On average (median), visitors looked at 1 amoeba. The maximum number that a visitor looked at was 8 amoebae. 64% (38/59) visitors watched an amoeba 71% (27/38) watched its cytoplasm move 66% (25/38) of the visitors who found and looked at an amoeba watched it move with its psuedopod 45% (17/38) stopped and watched a non-moving amoeba No visitor found an amoeba eating its prey 42% (16/59) watched chilomonas move. 38% (6/16) of these visitors chased a chilomonas as it moved on the screen. 9
10 Media Piece 68% (40/59) visitors looked at the media piece. Figure 4 shows how many visitors looked at each media screen. A majority of the visitors never looked beyond the basic description of the amoeba and the chilomonas. Few visitors (less than 5%) looked at the callouts of the different parts of the amoeba Figure 4. Visits to each screen on the accompanying media.

11 Microscope 22% (13/59) visitors looked at the microscope behind the glass. What visitors thought (results of the uncued interviews) Visitors Interest Most visitors found the exhibit interesting or somewhat interesting. Count Interest Rating (out of 18) Interesting 8 (44%) Somewhat Interesting 5 (28%) Neutral 4 (22%) Somewhat Not Interesting 1 (6%) Not Interesting 0 (0%) Visitors found the exhibit interesting for the following reasons: Using the Microscope (10/18). For example, Visitor: I would never, if I don't come here, never get the opportunity to look through a microscope. Of these 10 visitors, 4 mentioned that they particularly enjoyed searching for something to look at under the microscope The microbes they saw (10/18). For example, Visitor: [It s cool] looking at amoeba Of these 10 visitors, 4 talked specifically about moving specimens: Visitor: It was actually moving. You can see the moving color. The image quality (2/18). For example, Visitor: full color and vivid The media piece (4/18) Visitor: you can touch the computer screen and find out what's going on 11
12 Visitors found the exhibit not interesting because of difficulties 4 using the exhibit (2/18): Visitor: I'm unhappy about the limited range of focus, although I understand why you would have it. Visitor: It's hard to find something to see, lots of empty space. And the small ones [chilomonas] move too fast of the subject matter (2/18) Visitor: I m more a physics person Visitor: It s basically cells, looking at cells Visitors Questions As part of their interview, we asked visitors if they had any questions about what they saw. We grouped visitors questions into 3 categories: No questions. 12 /18 Visitors did not have any questions about the exhibit. Questions that were answered in the media piece. There were no questions that fell under this category Questions not answered in the media piece. In particular, visitors wanted to know: About the microscope Visitor: What type of microscope is it? About the larger context Visitor: [I] like to have another screen that explains what is amoeba with reference to the food chain, what they are naturally. Visitor: What's the goal of the exhibit? Is it to look at amoeba? About what s on the slide Visitor: What exactly am I looking at, with reference to the real world? Is it in a drop of water or something? Visitor: Most of the critters are on the edges, looks like they're trying to escape. Why do they do that? More about the amoeba 4 Three additional visitors mentioned, during another part of their interview, having difficulties using the interface. These complaints include: problems focusing especially on the chilomonas, not knowing where the amoebae were, and the controls being too sensitive. 12
13 Visitor: Amoeba is a one-cell organism, right? It says how it moves with those things. I don't remember what they're called. [the actin, you mean?] But, I don't really get how that really works. How does the amoeba get that to work? Connections visitors made between the microscope and the image 72% (13) of the (18) visitors interviewed thought the image was live, as opposed prerecorded. When these 13 visitors were asked where they thought the live specimens were, they said The microscope behind the glass (6/13) Somewhere in the lab (2/13) On some microscope somewhere (2/13) The wooden box (the prototype desk) (2/13) Did not know (1/13) What visitors remember seeing on the viewing monitor As part of their interview, visitors were asked to draw or describe whatever they remember seeing on the main viewing monitor. These descriptions were then coded for: 1) which parts they included and 2) what processes they noted. Parts visitors described 15/ 18 visitors interviewed drew an amoeba The following lists what visitors identified on their drawing. Note that very few visitors identified the parts (vacuoles, nucleus, psuedopod, and cell-membrane) that were called out in the media module. Parts Identified 5 Count (out of 15) Psuedopods 0 Vacuoles 1 Cell-membrane 1 Nucleus 2 Cytoplasm 1 Circles or Dots 8 Three visitors described the amoebas shape 5 The bold font denotes those parts that were described in the media piece. 13
14 6/18 visitors drew a chilomonas but none of these visitors identified the microbe by name. Processes/ actions visitors described seeing the amoeba do the following Amoeba Processes/ Actions Described 6 Count (out of 15) Moving 12 Flowing 5 Dead 1 Eating 1 Of the 15 visitors who described an amoeba, 12/15 talked about how it moved either across the screen or internally. 5/15 made specific mention of how the inside of the amoeba seemed to move. 5/18 visitors described seeing a chilomonas move. Again, none of these visitors identified the chilomonas by name. Visitors seem to be more attuned to the actions and the movements they see for this specimen than its different parts. SUMMARY WITH RECOMMENDATIONS The holding time for this exhibit prototype is about 1:40 (mean). There is no statistical difference in holding time compared to the standalone displaying the Zebrafish specimen, t(111) = -.406, p =.686. Also, this is roughly comparable to the exhibits with the highest holding power in the Traits of Life collection. (See Table 4.) Table 4. Traits of Life exhibits with the highest holding times.

15 Visitors tend to focus on the actions, particularly, the movement of the amoeba and of the chilomonas. They described the amoeba moving but were less articulate about the different parts of the amoeba in their interviews. Most of the visitors interviewed rated the exhibit interesting or somewhat interesting. There is NO statistical difference in the interest ratings for this specimen and the Zebrafish specimen. Fisher s Exact Test 7, p =. 17 >.05. The visitors who found the exhibit less interesting complained about difficulties finding a specimen and focusing on fast moving specimens. A few visitors were simply not interested in the specimen. A majority of the visitors used the joystick to move the stage and the focus knob to focus. However, only 64% of the visitors were able to find an amoeba to watch. Not surprisingly, those people who did not find an amoeba stayed for a shorter period of time at the exhibit as compared to those visitors who were able to find an amoeba. Analysis suggests different reasons why some visitors failed to stop and look at an amoeba. These include: getting lost on the slide, passing over an amoeba without stopping, focusing instead on the chilomonas, simply giving up in the first 5 seconds of search. Furthermore, children, as opposed to adults, seem to have more trouble finding an amoeba to watch. Recommendation: We may want to set tighter xy limits to prevent people from wandering out of the search area. For this study, we set the limits so that visitors can see the edge of the search space. Currently, the search area for the amoeba is circular whereas the xy limits are set for a rectangular search area. This means that there were certain areas that visitors could wander into in which they saw predominantly the Vaseline seal. Alternatively, we could revisit ways of indicating for the visitor where they are on the slide, or finding new ways of mounting the specimen. Recommendation: We can also experiment with a denser concentration of amoeba in the search space. We averaged a density of 2.3 x 10 6 amoeba/square micron for this study. We could not detect a difference in the percentage of people who stopped and looked at an amoeba between those visitors who had an amoeba in view and those visitors who did NOT have an amoeba in view when they first approached the exhibit. Amoebas need to be in focus before the visitors can see interesting features/movement. That means, even if there is an amoeba in view at start, if it s not in focus, the visitor might not think to stop and look at it. Furthermore, this may also indicate some confusion as to what they should look for or even a lack of interest in what they see initially. The amoeba may be particularly challenging in this respect because there are no readily recognizable parts to the amoeba and a visitors would need to look closely for longer than a second to see any movement. 7 The Fisher s Exact Test grouped somewhat interesting and interesting into one category and neutral and somewhat not interesting into another category. 15
16 About 68% of the visitors looked at the media monitor. However, a majority of the visitors never looked beyond the basic description of the amoeba and the chilomonas. Furthermore, few visitors remembered the different parts of the amoeba when they were asked to describe what they saw on the main monitor. There is a significant correlation between those visitors who looked at the media monitor and those visitors who found an amoeba to look at under the microscope. We do not know if there is a causal connection. Some visitors had additional questions about the exhibit that were not addressed in the accompanying media module. Recommendation: We may want to look at these questions, which are included in this report, to determine if we should somehow address them in future versions of the media piece. Less than 1/4 of the visitors looked behind the glass at the microscope. Of those visitors interviewed (N = 18), about 3/4 thought the image they saw was live, and less than 50% connected the microscope with what they saw. This may indicate that seeing the microscope is an important part of understanding and appreciating what they are seeing on the main viewing monitor. A future study can look at what effect seeing the microscope has on the overall experience at the exhibit.
